I am actually questioning  the lenght of the yugas. Rama and krishna seemed to have come fairly quickly one after the other. Anything in the order of 100,000 years per yuga ( I did have the lenghts of the yugas, but in 1986 I couldn't bring those back with me) and we woudn't  have a record of Rama. Sri Yuteswar disagreed with the 434000 figure and posited that the yugas were more than likely 3-5 thousand years in duration. His book got lost somewhere over the years! Thanks!

Soul -
It was around the time of the adolescence of Arjuna's grandson, Parikshitaha, that marks the end of the Dwapara Yuga, and the advent of the Kali Yuga which lasts for 434000 years. Of these 5200 years have passed. So if you see this in terms of BC, it is 5200 -2100 = 3100 BC. How uncannily correct the figure is.

I don't really believe in much of those things
I know there are spirits out there, however. I believe all this is very interesting, though. Thanks for the info! It is always good learning something new.

Some say it is an organization which will save us, some say the UFO's will intervene, some say the Avatar will save us and some say that the yogis and saints in the Himalayas will not allow such catastrophes to happen. Brute force is, however, showing us something else! Thanks

Re: Soul
In those days, there were rules of engagement, you knew there was a war on. Devdatta signalled the commencement of battle. There were laws regarding the treatment of 'downed' warriors. Today, invasion without declaring war is the norm. I cannot verify that Kali Yuga is going to be 434000 years. Swami Yukteswar, guru of Paramahansa Yogananda, calculated it differently. I had his book but lost it, somebody liked it more than me! Most research I have seen places the war at 3100 BC, which clicks in with your figure! Thanks for your comments.

I really read your post with great interest, and it contains a lot of variety. Very well done.

Mahabharata is a classical war fought during the end of Dwapara Yuga, that is, accoring to the Hindu way of calculation, occurring some 5200 years ago. The present, Kali Yuga will last 434000 years, then back to the cycle of Sata Yuga, the Truth Age. Not only it (Mahabharata) is the pinnacle of warring techniques and conduct - they used to frequent each others' camps at night, often as friends. We, even when we consider ourselves advanced, can never even think of it. Also the weapons were so very advanced, especially the Wind-weapons that they had, we have not been able to conceive of. Since these are historical facts, and not mythological, as has been proved in recent researches, the Puranas, Vedas have a lot to teach.  .....  That was great Ayurveda, the knowledge of Age increse - the urine therapy - Morarji Bhai Desai, the late Indian Prime Minister was a true votary of this drink and a laughing stock for the people, but he did, one will have to say, died at the age of a 100 or thereabout, and he always walked upright till his death.

Re: I just wish humankind would come to their senses and try to live
Urine therapy states that you excrete too much good substances in your urine. A way to heal yourself would be to re-channel the good stuff back inside you. This is done by collecting and drinking your urine. The beginning and the end of a PISS are not crucial. To drink the MIDSTREAM piss is of utmost value.
